For the past 115 years, Saks Fifth Avenue has been a store where people of means go to shop for clothes, jewelry and $30,000 purses… you know, the essentials. Odds are if you want the fanciest, most expensive version of something, odds are Saks has it or could get it for you. That fact is even more true come the Christmas shopping season when the iconic New York department store releases the annual Saks Holiday Catalog full of lovely goodies like the one I’m writing about here.

This is TickTickVroom.com, so I’m obviously writing about either a super-rare watch or some Saks edition car. While I’m sure the 2013 Saks Holiday Catalog has some pretty cool timepieces, for this post I’m looking at the limited edition 2014 Cadillac ELR Saks Fifth Avenue Edition.

The Cadillac ELR is Caddy’s new plug-in hybrid. It’s a Caddified, luxury version of the Chevrolet Volt. And, like a lot of the new Cadillacs, the ELR is a very lovely vehicle. It’s also not cheap. A base Cadillac ELR starts at about $75,000. $75k is already a fairly high entry point, but when you add a $14,500 price bump, the $89,500 Saks Cadillac ELR (sorry, 2014 Cadillac ELR Saks Fifth Avenue Edition) is downright pricey.

Maybe the 2014 Saks Cadillac ELR is worth it. It is a very rare car. Cadillac will only produce 100 units. And, don’t forget, Saks has their name on it, so you can bank on some extra luxury. For example, the 2014 Cadillac ELR Saks Fifth Avenue Edition comes in an exclusive color scheme that very luxuriously named, a White Diamond exterior finish with either Jet Black or Light Cashmere interior.

Buyers of the Saks Cadillac ELR will also get an upgraded 240-volt charging station with installation and a “white-glove customer care” concierge service who serve as the point-of-contact between the ELR owner and Cadillac. Fancy.

The 2014 Cadillac ELR Saks Fifth Avenue Edition is obviously the star of the show, but Saks Fifth Avenue and Cadillac are also showing off a “Frozen Escalade” in the window of their flagship store on Fifth Avenue in NYC. Basically, there is a 2015 Cadillac Escalade that looks like it’s breaking through a block of ice. Sounds a bit familiar, actually. A few months ago, Rolls Royce had a very similar display in a Harrod’s window in London to debut the 2014 Rolls Royce Wraith. I guess Saks and Cadillac aren’t really stealing the idea from Harrod’s since Saks’ new president is Marigay McKee who happens to be the former Chief Merchant of Harrod’s. They’re just reusing a good idea.
